# 1. Getting Ready

[Shiny][shiny] is an open source R package that provides an elegant and powerful web
framework for building web applications using R. Before continuing, you will need the
following:

[shiny]: https://shiny.posit.co/

* A project
* Project storage
* A RStudio Notebook

For tutorials on the above, see:

* [My First Notebook](../my-first-notebook/)
* [My first RStudio project](../getting-started-rstudio/)

This code will produce a simple dashboard with some controls that change a scatter plot.

# 2. Create a Shiny site

In this section you will create a Shiny site.

Starting point: you should be logged in to DataLabs, in a project you have admin
permissions for. This project should contain a blank RStudio notebook.

In order to begin, open your RStudio notebook and create a new project ensuring
to select "Shiny". This will trigger some actions like initialising renv and may
take a few minutes.

![create shiny project type](../../img/create-shiny-project-type.png "create shiny project type")

***NOTE: When working on more advanced Shiny sites that use custom packages, you
should always enable `renv` when you create the RStudio project. This will track
all dependencies used in the project, and they can be loaded by the Shiny site once
it has been created by initialising `renv` in the Shiny code itself. While this isn't
required for this minimal example, generally it's advisable to work this way.***

![create shiny project](../../img/create-shiny-project-in-rstudio.png "create shiny project")

Once complete, this should have generated a new folder with an existing `app.R`
file in which serves as a good example on how to work with Shiny.

![shiny project created](../../img/create-shiny-app-example.png "shiny project created")

Next from DataLabs, on the left-hand side, select **Sites**.

![site page](../../img/project-site-page-empty.png "site page")

Select **Create Site** and fill out the form. In this form, the `Source Path`
should point to where your app.R code exists within your Project Storage,
for example `/data/notebooks/rstudio-notebook/tutorial`. (Assuming the project
created in RStudio was called tutorial)

By default, the Shiny site will look for app.R or main.R/server.R. If nothing
is present it will simply show a blank index page. The site will still be able to
access other files in the directory if necessary, such as data files and
scripts.

![shiny site settings](../../img/create-shiny-site.png "shiny site settings")

When happy with the settings, click **Create**.

Once created, you will be able to see your Site appear in the list, and
its status will change from `Requested` to `Ready` once it is available to
launch.

# 3. Launch Shiny

In this section you will launch a Panel site.

Starting point: you should be logged in to DataLabs, in a project you have at least
viewer permissions for. This project should contain a Shiny site connected to a
RStudio notebook.

On the left-hand side, select **Sites**.

![shiny site created](../../img/create-shiny-site-created.png "shiny site created")

Click on **Open** on your Shiny site.

![shiny site created](../../img/create-shiny-app-created.png "shiny site created")

You should be able to see the default Shiny example histogram successfully loaded.

# 4. Delete Shiny site

In this section you will delete a Shiny site.

As sites are driven by the contents of a notebook and doesn't contain the code
itself, they can be deleted when they are no longer needed.

Starting point: you should be logged in to DataLabs, in a project you have admin
permissions for, and a Shiny site should already exist.

![shiny site created](../../img/create-shiny-site-created.png "shiny site created")

On the Shiny site, select the triple-dot *More* menu and select **Delete**.

![shiny site delete](../../img/create-shiny-delete.png "shiny site delete")

Select **Confirm deletion** to delete the Shiny site.
